Week 9, Aug 11-14

Leaving the eastern end of Lake Ontario and entering the St. Lawrence River. The river is miles wide at this point but with many islands large and small.



Stayed at Islander Marina at Clayton,NY. It's adjacent to the Antique Boat Museum. It has to be the best in the world.

Pardon Me is powered by one of these 1200 hp Packard's. Same engine was used in the WWII PT boats.
